OSIJEK, May 2 (Hina) - After Croatian Parliament Speaker Vladimir
Seks announced on Tuesday that the Chief State Prosecutor's Office had
requested a permission to launch criminal proceedings against parliamentary
deputy Branimir Glavas for war crimes against civilians, Glavas said this was
"a rigged process aimed at toppling the local government in Osijek and
Osijek-Baranja County. "Croatia is a country that I had been
creating and it is in my interest that light be shed on all crimes committed
during the Homeland War. Should my country be threatened, I would defend it the
same way today and I am proud of that," Glavas told Hina.
"The epilogue of the entire case will not be the way those who launched
this want it to be, because during the war they were only one floor above me
and they are responsible for all decision. I will use my 15 minutes at the next
parliamentary session and I will talk about many things that had so far been
unknown to the Croatian public and international institutions.
Glavas said that eight days ago he received information from a Croatian
army officer that he would be stripped of his parliamentary immunity.
